Childlike involves wonder. It’s the ability to see the world with fresh eyes and create magic.
Childish, on the other hand, is living as if there are no consequences.
Over time, we’ve gotten very good at measuring the long and short-term consequences of our actions. And good at ignoring them.
Adults do well when they seek to be childlike, and that’s possible without being childish.
